The Dramas that Raised Me

These are the kdramas that I watched in a time when I was young, innocent and beautiful. They showed me the world then. And now when I think back, i get a twinge of bittersweet nostalgia, longing for those days. Remembering them gives me butterflies in my stomach, as though I met my first love again ❤️

    *story time* So i was watching this on viki shortly after I finished Strong Woman. The subtitle teams have names based on the specific drama they are subbing, which I know now, but I didn't then. But I loved both these dramas sooo much, and the name of the subtitle teams sounded similar, so I was literally attempting to go to the subtitle team to see which other dramas they subbed so I could watch more dramas like this. Didn't work tho obv ?
